In the 21^st-century employers are looking for specialists with critical thinking who are able to recognize a difference between believed and false information. Also, critical thinking is about evaluating situations and making decisions.

So, let`s pass the employers` test and check your level of critical analysis. Can you find out fake information? Read it carefully!

1. We use only 10 percent of our brains.
2. Albert Einstein was a really bad student who failed math.
3. Vaccination is harmful to children’s lives.

To be honest, all these facts are false, but a lot of people extremely believe in it and hope that this information improves their lives. As usual, these facts are created by advertising agencies on purpose. In this way, the agencies manipulate our hopes, wishes, or tastes to persuade us to buy products.

But why we believe in a lie? After exhausting work, our brains are tired and begin eating junk food — fake news. We don`t want to check information or evaluate news provenance. But I know medicines that help you think clearly. It is critical pills — education sources.

The Internet offers a wide range of sources that help you improve your critical thinking skills, for example, Toronto TV and Island TV channels on YouTube, or Media Sapiens and Uchoose.info websites. I don`t appeal that you should genuinely believe the sources but it can be useful tools to become the top-notch specialist.

Critical thinking is one of the most important skills for people in the 21st century. After all, a brain never makes us a lord of creation, but only skills how to use it.
